Chickpea hash: Do you miss the 1970s, or wish you could go back in time to experience them? At Hash, a new hippie-themed BYOB spot on the border of Wicker Park and Humboldt Park, diners can revisit the grooviest of eras with a modern-day hipster twist. Hash's take on classic American dishes includes five hearty breakfast hashes (like a traditional corned beef hash and a "Humboldt"-style creation of fried plantains, chorizo and salsa verde), as well as an assortment of craft sandwiches, soups, salads, breakfast items and locally brewed Dark Matter coffee. However, the chickpea hash is perhaps the most delightful offering: an eclectic creation of spicy chickpeas, Greek yogurt, crispy kale and paneer, served with a side of toast and eggs made any style. With Grateful Dead bootlegs playing in the background, indulging in a $6 meal of chickpea hash for hangover brunch (or breakfast-for-dinner) feels like the perfect bohemian time capsule brought to life. 1357 N. Western Ave., 773-661-2964, hashchicago.com
